Where this album fits

Career context
When A Perfect Circle released 'Emotive' in late 2004, it was their third studio album, following the commercial success of 'Thirteenth Step' (2003). At this point, they were solidifying their place in alternative rock while exploring more socially conscious themes, responding to the political climate of the time, particularly post-9/11 anxieties.
